One might, lead to specific characteristics of those then, question the FDA’s implication that Byetta increases the risk of pancreatitis, populations differing from those of other recognizing that while underreporting of adverse events to the agency might make any apparent grouping of events potentially serious, there may now be an opposite effect of the earlier announcement increasing such reporting.
